The Partial Encarnations of Vidur

Vidur was a partial incarnation of the god Dharma, thus explaining his total enlightenment with issues concerning law and ethics. King Jana Magaya interrupted Vyasampayana when he heard about Vidur's birth to ask him how it could have been possible for an ignorant child to be born king. The three boys each became learned in law and the Vedas while their uncle Bhishma acted as regent and protector of the nation. Next time we'll see the Kuruprances enter the international market, forming alliances with their neighbors,. Also we'll hear about the birth of both our heroes and villains, all 105 of them. Thanks for listening.
